Difference between Human cytomegalovirus and Natural killer cell

Human cytomegalovirus vs. Natural killer cell

Human cytomegalovirus is a species of the virus genus Cytomegalovirus, which in turn is a member of the viral family known as Herpesviridae or herpesviruses. Natural killer cells or NK cells are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system.

Similarities between Human cytomegalovirus and Natural killer cell

Human cytomegalovirus and Natural killer cell have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adaptive immune system, Antibody, Epstein–Barr virus, Hepatitis, HIV, HIV/AIDS, Immune system, Immunoglobulin G, Infection, Innate immune system, Lymphocyte, NKG2D, Prostate cancer, T cell, Virus.

Adaptive immune system

The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system or, more rarely, as the specific immune system, is a subsystem of the overall immune system that is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth.

Antibody

An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Epstein–Barr virus

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), also called human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is one of eight known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family, and is one of the most common viruses in humans.

HIV/AIDS

Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Immune system

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.

Infection

Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.

Innate immune system

The innate immune system, also known as the non-specific immune system or in-born immunity system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms involved in the defense of the host from infection by other organisms.
